Study of the dielectric properties of perovskite crystals
Mlčkovová, Hana ; Pospíšil, Jan (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis deals with the preparation of perovskite single crystals by inverse thermal crystallization and subsequent study of the basic properties of these hybrid organic-inorganic materials that can be used in various optoelectronic (photodetectors, transistors, lasers, LEDs) or photovoltaic applications. Their behavior in the electric field was studied by impedance spectroscopy. Impedance and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics (frequency dependences) were measured in the dark and in the light. From the impedance dependences for measurements at 0 V voltage in the dark, the equivalent circuit was modeled and its parameters and dielectric constant were determined. From the C-V dependence, Mott-Schottky analysis determined the parameters – "flat-band" potential U_"fb" and charge carrier density N_"C-V" , the parameter – the so-called Warburg coefficient was found, which together with the parameter N_"C-V" was used to calculate the diffusion coefficient D.

Optical characterization of perovskite nanostructures
Urban, Jakub ; Kvapil, Michal (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
The present bachelor's thesis focuses on the optical characterization of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals ranking among the group of materials called perovskites which are remarkable for their high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield. An algorithm for a correlation of experimental data measured by PL mapping with morphological and topological properties obtained by using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy has been developed which clears the way for a particular crystal detection and their spectrum analysis. Specifically, crystals the shape of which can be approximated by a cuboid have been detected and the volume dependence of the centre of mass of their PL, which is proportional to V^(-2/3) as predicted by the theorethical model, has been discovered. The measurement of PL dependency on temperatures ranging from 40 to 60 °C has also been conducted and in this temperature interval linear dependence of the full width at half maximum of their PL spectral line that rises with rising temperature has been confirmed. On the contrary, the centre of mass of PL has been found to be temperature independent.

Fabrication of ceramic materials for piezoelectric applications
Karkuszová, Karina ; Spusta, Tomáš (referee) ; Částková, Klára (advisor)
The content of this thesis is about preparation and processing of lead-free piezoceramic materials with perovskite structure. Potassium sodium niobate (KNN) powder was prepared by solid state reaction (SSR) and liquid phase reaction (sol-gel reaction). The powders were formed by uniaxial and isostatic pressing and further sintered. The density, grain size and morphology were determined on the sintered samples. The powder, synthesised by SSR and sintered in a conventional furnace, was chosen as a standard. The maximum density achieved on samples after optimization of sintering cycle was 93 %TD. The sintering optimization involved a homogenization step at 950 °C, which promotes the correct development of the phase composition and microstructure, followed by sintering at 1120 °C. The same approach and sintering cycle were used for sintering the samples, prepared by sol-gel synthesis. The maximum density of the samples prepared by sol-gel reaction and sintered in a conventional way, was 92 %TD. For further comparison, both of the synthesised powders were sintered using SPS (spark plasma sintering), which increased their final density up to 97 %TD. The approximate value of the piezoelectric coefficient d33 (pC/N) has been measured on selected SSR samples with pure phase composition ((K0,5Na0,5)NbO3). The best measured value of d33 was around 100 pC/N.

Synthesis and Study of Nano-Structured Perovskites for Applications in Organic Electronics
Jančík Procházková, Anna ; Kuřitka, Ivo (referee) ; Částková, Klára (referee) ; Krajčovič, Jozef (advisor)
Nanočástice perovskitů halogenidů kovů vykazují unikátní vlastnosti, především výjimečně vysoké hodnoty kvantových výtěžků fluorescence, které předurčují tyto materiály pro aplikace v optoelektronických a fotonických zařízeních. Tato práce popisuje přípravu nanočástic perovskitů halogenidů kovů pomocí stabilizačních činidel inspirovaných přírodou. Stabilizační činidla zde slouží nejen ke stabilizaci, ale i k modifikaci povrchu nanočástic za účelem zvýšení funkčnosti výsledných nanostruktur. Úvod práce popisuje optimalizaci přípravy nanočástic precipitační technikou za použití stabilizačních činidel; jako stabilizační činidlo byl zvolen adamantan-1-amin spolu s hexanovou kyselinou. Bylo prokázáno, že klíčový vliv na optické vlastnosti výsledných koloidních roztoků má volba rozpouštědel a teploty při precipitaci. Mimo jiné byl zkoumán vliv koncentrace prekurzorů na výslednou morfologii a optické vlastnosti nanočástic a jejich koloidních roztoků. V neposlední řadě byly nanočástice stabilizovány adamantan-1-aminem spolu s různými karboxylovými kyselinami a byly studovány optické vlastnosti a koloidní stabilita výsledných koloidních roztoků. V dalším kroku byly nanočástice perovskitů stabilizovány pomocí proetogenních aminokyselin L-lysinu and L-argininu. Takto stabilizované nanočástice vykazovaly úzká emisní spektra ve viditelné oblasti a kvantové výtěžky fluorescence dosahující hodnot téměř 100 %. Stabilizace nanočástic prostřednictvím postranních skupin aminokyselin byla prokázána navázáním chránící terc-butoxykarbonylové skupiny na -amino skupinu. Nanočástice stabilizované modifikovaným lysinem v průběhu jejich přípravy vykazovaly závislost optických vlastností na přítomnosti vody. Předpokládá se, že molekuly vody jsou schopné kontrolovat růst krystalové mřížky po navázání na prekurzory perovskitů a ovlivňovat tak výslednou velikost nanočástic, což vede k projevení kvantových jevů. Spojení nanočástic perovskitů s peptidy představuje nový typ materiálů kombinujících výjimečné optické vlastnosti se samoorganizačními a senzorickými vlastnostmi. Tento koncept byl představen přípravou nanočástic perovskitů stabilizovaných cyklo(RGDFK) pentapeptidem. Vzhledem k citlivosti peptidů na jejich byly nanočástice stabilizovány peptidovými nukleovými kyselinami, robustními analogy nukleových kyselin. Ke stabilizaci nanočástic byl připraven monomer a trimer peptidové nukleové kyseliny obsahující thymin jako dusíkatou bázi. Thymin byl na povrchu nanočástic dostupný k interakci s adeninem přes vodíkové můstky umožňující přenos náboje. Kombinace peptidových nukleových kyselin a perovskitů s unikátními optickými vlastnostmi otevírá aplikační možnosti zejména v oblasti optických senzorů.

Mádrová, Tereza ; Langerová, Petra (referee) ; Baumgartnerová, Alena (advisor)
Předložená bakalářská práce je zaměřena na zpracování souhrnného přehledu využití supravodivosti v technických řešeních a aplikacích, čímž se rozumí nikoliv experimentální využití, nýbrž využití v reálném technickém řešení. Tato práce se věnuje zejména popisu, v první části základním atributům supravodivosti, bez nichž není možné princip supravodivosti pochopit a jsou tudíž nezbytnou součástí práce, ve druhé části rozdělení do kategorií supravodičů podle určitých kritérií, a v poslední části popisuje příklady aplikací supravodivosti tak, jak se s nimi můžeme setkat v každodenním životě.

Bartoníčková, Eva ; Lapčík, Ĺubomír (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (advisor)
Synthesis and bulk analysis of composite ceramic oxide materials and materials with perovskite-defect structure is presented within this work. Syntheses of these advanced ceramics materials were carroed out by using of nonconventional techniques (microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis and polycondensation techniques) and by conventional mechanochemical activation followed by high temperature solid state reaction. X-Ray difraction (XRD), Rietveld analysis, scaning microscopy (SEM), microalysis EDS-SEM, thermal analysis (TG), infrared spectroscopy (IR), determination of particles size and specific surface area were used for description of synthesized products. In case of perovskite system based on La-Sr-Fe-Ti-O electrochemical properties were studied. Part of work was focused on chemical analysis of synthesized composite oxide materials and decomposition hard structured products by using of nonconventional fields.

Study of preparation of ceramic membranes
Matějková, Michaela ; Částková, Klára (referee) ; Bartoníčková, Eva (advisor)
In this bachelor thesis the literature retrieval concerning the preparation of ceramic membranes suitable for power applications (membrane reactors, fuel cells) and materials suitable for their preparation, was summarised. Based on that literature retrieval the glycine-nitrate syntheses of selected ceramic materials were performed. As starting material was chosen zirconate structure (Zr-Ba-O), which was doped by cerium, iron, aluminium and manganese ions. The resulting powders were further processed to solid membranes by unaxial pressing and sintering (density of sintered bodies about 93 % t. d.). Then the influence of dopants on the properties of the powders and ceramic membranes were studied. The evaluation of properties (as phase composition, powders morphology and microstructure of ceramic bodies) was performed by x-ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy, a specific surface analysis and simultaneous thermal analysis.

Development and Innovation of Manufacturing Processes for Thin-Film Solar Cell Functional Layers
Kadlec, Michal ; Vanýsek, Petr (referee) ; Tauš, Peter (referee) ; Vaněk, Jiří (advisor)
The doctoral thesis deals with a group of thin-film photovoltaic cells based on pigment or perovskite absorption layers of light energy. The principal functionality of the cell is based on the capture of light by the pigment on a photosensitized semiconductor anode with subsequent regeneration of the pigment by the electrolyte. In our research we focused on the preparation and optimization of perovskite solar structures based on TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3. A total of six series of experimental solar cells with a perovskite structure were produced. The first two series were realized according to the chemical formula CH3NH3PbI3. In the other series, we applied the theory of added chlorine, resulting in the chemical formula CH3NH3PbI3Cl2. We defined the requirements for the creation of an active perovskite structure in the cell and determined its photovoltaic properties depending on the composition.
